Goodbye to my cutie (for a few days)

This morning I dropped Jason off about 2 hours south of us, in Massachusetts. He was rigged out with a 45 pound pack and will spend the next 7 days hiking north, doing a section of the Appalachian Trail which happens to run concurrent with Vermont's Long Trail.

It's been a long-time wish of his to do the whole AT ... if he hadn't joined Peace Corps, that was his alternative plan. Doing the whole trail from Georgia to Maine takes about 5 months, and well ... you know the rest of the story post-Peace Corps. While I really do wish that I was the type of person who could do such a hike, I don't think that I am and I keep reminding myself to know my limits.
So, I'm home alone for a week. Luckily, I actually started working again last Sunday and will be kept very busy at Okemo while he's gone. Yay for work!!

How we got here ... with a couple babies!

We first met on July 7, 2006. We'd both quit our jobs and gotten rid of nearly all our possessions. We had joined the Peace Corps and were heading to the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific. We thought we were prepared for whatever lay ahead ... neither of us had a clue.

Just over 10 months after we first met, we were MARRIED!Since then our adventures have included:

- a year in New York City, living in a Harlem brownstone apartment- going off-the-grid & into a tent-cabin on tiny Angaur island in Palau- living with a bunch of teenagers in Shanghai, China while working as dormitory parents

- off-the-grid again & into a barn on 400 forested acres in Vermont

- at the base of volcanos in beautiful Panajachel, Guatemala

And now ... on the hunt for a new career, we find ourselves in IDAHO!

We love to experience this great big world and hope you will join us for the journey!
